| | Shaun this tut is great. I am not a beginner but I do not know how to determine the hex number after "@=hex(2)" in the file Restore_Run_as_administrator.reg I would like to add the extensions JPG, DOC, DOCX, RAR & ZIP, how do I determine the hex numbers for these? I noticed these lines were different for EXE, is this the only case or are there others that are similar |

| | Hello execcese, and welcome to Seven Forums. Unfortunately, adding "Run as administrator" to those file types' context menu would be pointless since they are not application type files and would not work.  |

| | Thanks for your reply Brink. Sorry I just did not have that knowledge. I'll just have to "Switch User" (Windows 7) to Administrator For those who have not got the option here is how I do it in Windows 7. Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or DisableNow, just select Administrator to log in as Administrator. Last edited by Brink; 4 Weeks Ago at 09:24 AM..

| | With regards to my previous reply you may have to use the file Properties then Security tab to enable permissions for the Administrator. With regards to my original query. When I double click on a JPG file it opens in Irfan View because that is what I have set "Open with" to in Properties. Are you saying adding "Run as administrator" to the context menu cannot be done or it will not work? |

| | execcese, "Run as administrator" can only be used on executable application files. A JPG is an image file and not an application type file. For what you want, you could use OPTION FIVE in the tutorial below to set the .exe file of Irfan View to always Run this program as an administrator. This way when you open the JPG file, it will open with an elevated (run as administrator) Irfan View. Run as Administrator |
